photon not connecting to webapp

Hi all

When I start photon, I get the following warning in the console and  
I'm wondering if its anything to be concerned about:

Error connecting to web app for ID base, reverting to built in  
IDFactory.

Whats weird is that I can connect to the webapp via the 3000 port just  
fine from a web browser so for all I know, the warning can be safely  
ignored.

TIA

Jerald,

It's not a big deal - Photon can get numbers from Tradebase to seed
the ClOrdIDs that are sent out, and if it can't connect it just uses
its own internally-generated ClOrdIDs based on the machine name and
IP.

Can you double-check that you have the IP address of "web app host"
filled out correctly in Photon settings?
http://trac.marketcetera.org/trac.fcgi/wiki/Marketcetera/PhotonInstallation#ConfigurePhoton

It's set to be 'localhost' by default, but if you are running an
appliance then you'll have a different IP address - the same one you
use to connect to via the web. Can you check that that entry is
correct?

thanks
